"The Sweetest Days" is the first single from Vanessa Williams' third studio album of the same name. The song was written by the same team who previously penned Save The Best For Last for Williams. The single reached No. 18[1] on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3[2] on the US Adult Contemporary Charts.

Video

The Sweetest Days video is shot two different ways and there seems to be no explanation why there are 2-versions of this song. The "romantic version" was shot in an apartment overlooking a city skyline while the "Urban version" shows her walking in a park and through streets. The "urban version" seems to be the one MTV showed in 1994. There are a few clips that they both share in the same spots but for the 3-minute and 31-second video, they do give the song a different feel.
